The Storm Within Rages Without
The storm that rages without gives way to the storm raging within
The crack of thunder peals across dark skies
And inside the storm builds with each glance you give
I feel the blood coursing through my veins
The flash of lightening as
As it seems to almost touch the ground and disappear
Makes me jump
Though not visible the fast paced thud of my heart
My breath catches as you walk slowly towards me
A look I have seen before evident in your eyes
Outside the wind stirs dried leaves, twigs and debris
Twisting the branches on the trees with such force
It shakes the rafters
Still, you advance
The strong pull causing me to let out a puny whimper
Your beautiful eyes smokey gray settles on mine
Nostril flaring the need in you apparent
A shock of lightening flashes across dark skies again
and again, and again, each dotted by thunder each more powerful than the other
sends the storm raging
The whip of the trees as they fight to stay upright
warns of the brutality of the storm to come
Huge droplets falling like diamond's ping against window
Freshly washed by droplets of rain
Eyes huge with emotions glance once, twice, like a starving wolf
Back arched proudly stealthily you advance
Another clap of thunder finds you in my arms
I reach for you offering what little comfort I can from the storm
that rages outside
You tremble uncontrollably
It was on a night like this that we came together for the first time
Our bodies glistening from the wetness of the rain
Slowly sensually you rub your body against me
Touching my cheek in gentle caress
My poor puss, I talk gently to you
Aware of your fear of the storm
As you purr in gratitude
As I watched the black cat that had taken up residence on my back porch in San Antonio, his back arched in expectation of the coming storm. I envisioned its fear as he extended his claws and made a dash for the shelter of the lawn furniture.
